I had to pick between a full packer brisket or just the flat for a small party
My buddy's birthday was coming up and I offered to smoke the main dish, but only 8 people were coming. I mean, a full 16 pound packer felt like overkill, but the flat alone can dry out so easy. I went with the full packer anyway, figuring we'd have leftovers. It took almost 14 hours on my offset, but man, the point was so good and juicy, everyone went back for seconds. The flat was a bit drier, but we chopped it for sandwiches the next day. Has anyone else done a full brisket for a small group, or do you usually go smaller?

Always better to have leftovers than not enough.

My friend made way too much chili for a party last week. She ended up eating it for lunch three days straight, and her husband took some to work. They were honestly happy about it, saved them from having to figure out meals.
